life / wine

Did you know~ In fact, the history of wine is longer than that of tea.

Little historical knowledge: wine vessels have existed since the Neolithic Age, and the bronze wine vessels of the Shang and Zhou dynasties were also necessary tools for sacrifice.

In the past, I always thought that people who drink alcohol are bad people. The contact with alcohol is the pile of Taiwan beer that will appear on the ground when barbecue. However, when I was young, of course I couldn't drink. The first time I drank beer in my life was in Korea. I went to eat fried chicken with the club that day. When I arrived, I found out that it was a fried chicken beer shop. If you want to say it, try it. As a result, I unexpectedly found that the taste was not as bad as I thought, but it solved the greasy fried chicken. However, I think Korean soju with a fruity flavor is better, and it is more suitable for girls (?). I also like to drink Korean Makgeolli , which is a kind of turbid rice wine and sweet. In Korea, if it rains, Koreans eat seafood pancakes and drink makgeolli.

Koreans really like to drink. On Friday and Saturday nights, every bar in the city will be full of people, and there will be long queues, and there is a good chance to see drunk people lying on the side of the road and sleeping. people. Oh, there was a common activity in the school at that time called MT (Membership Training, membership training), what do you think you need to train? Of course, it is to train your drinking, usually organized by the club, the members will find a villa in the suburbs, play games together all night in it, and then the loser will have to drink. I just avoided that event, but I heard from my friend that the socks were dry when I went and the socks were wet when I came back.

I just talked about rice wine, and now it's about millet wine . I remember two years ago, when my family and I went to Cingjing Farm, we stayed for a day at the B&B on the mountainside there. When visiting the market in those days, the aboriginal aunt brought three kinds of wine for us to taste. One of them was millet wine made by the factory assembly line, and then there were wines made by friends from the Seediq and Paiwan people. Each bottle of wine The color of the wine is different, and the feeling of drinking is not the same, some are sweeter, and some are a little sour, but we agree that hand-brewed wine tastes more layered, so we are satisfied with a bottle Seediq went home with a bottle of Paiwan hand-brewed millet wine.

As for spirits, the first time I drank it was when I was a senior. I remember that it was the end of a big event for the whole semester. A senior asked me to say that her friend brought him a bottle of whiskey and asked me if I wanted to drink it together. . I didn't drink it, I was curious, so we asked Xiao Qi near the dormitory for a drink, and then we chatted at the convenience store, she suddenly said, you know, whiskey and winter melon tea are delicious. Then I bought ice cubes and winter melon tea at Xiaoqili and mixed them for me to drink. Because this is the first time to drink whisky, and it is a very magical mix of mixology, I can't tell what it feels like at the moment, I just think that the spirits are actually full and delicious, not the kind of choking and spicy I imagined. .

Another interesting story is that last week, I went to the city center to eat Spanish food with my classmates, but when we sat down, we found that only the main meal had a Chinese menu, and the other drink menu did not have a Chinese version. My classmates and I had to stare at the heavenly book menu in a daze (because we don't know many wines, and of course we don't even know their English). Suddenly, he said, I saw a drink I knew, and he pointed to the menu and said Mojito. Eh! Mojito (Mojito) , isn't this Jay Chou's song! So we thought that the wine that can be put into the creation should also be very powerful, so we ordered this. In the end, what was really delicious was the lemon and mint rum mix, which seemed to be a day saved by Jay Chou.

As for, why are you doing this today? Because there was a new attempt yesterday. I went to my friend's apartment to eat hot pot with them at noon yesterday, and suddenly they said that there was a bottle of wine that they all found very difficult to drink and wanted me to try it, so I poured a little out. This color...isn't it milk tea! I took a sip and found that it was really a milk-flavored wine, and it was obviously delicious. I checked and found that it is Baileys (Baileys sweet milk wine) that is blended with Irish fresh cream and whiskey. I also found that it can be mixed with other teas like fresh milk (such as black tea, oolong tea) , try it again next time. So I enjoyed the sweet milk wine, and they drank whiskey and Sprite.

In the evening, because we were going to play games (play Uno, and they taught me the lady card), we suddenly had to drink again, but because we finished drinking at noon, we had to ask the large group of the whole student apartment if anyone wanted to Sell wine (if people want to return home, they will be willing to sell it at a low price). Soon after, we acquired a Jagerneister and a Coca-Cola. After mixing the wine, I took a sip and was taken aback. I told them that this is not a traditional Chinese medicine. This time they looked at me with strange eyes again, and I thought the wine tasted strange to them, and I thought it was delicious. After I went home and checked it, I found out that Yege wine is a wine made from various plants, which is really like traditional Chinese medicine.

Although I played a lot today, I actually have less than ten kinds of wine. After tasting it yesterday, I feel that there are still many wines with special flavors worth challenging, so let me try them slowly. (Recommendations are also welcome, but I don't necessarily drink...
